India's Little Treasures Photo

Photographer’s Note

I spent 3 days with the people of this small village, a few miles outside of Ongole. I quickly learned to love and appreciate them. The children loved having their pictures taken, and they especially loved seeing their picture on the viewfinder. They would beg me to do it over and over (and over). The little girl in the front was a real cutey and she was really hamming it up for this shot. The boy in the front right reminded me so much of my son Philip. very mischievious, and a lot of fun!

Hi John
Great smiles you have captured here .... all the children look as if they are at great ease with the camera .... good capture .... well done ..... BUT the the vehicle on the left of the side looks like such an eye sore .... I would have liked to see the composition without it ...... but on thinking again, I think it is good to include the vehicle as it will be good memory for you
cheers .... sarju

Hello John!
A very nice and candid portrait of this group. They really seem to enjoy the moment. You did not force them obviously!

I propose you a little WS,as I believe the jeep is too distracting.

Cheers!
Robert
